Perhaps Mather’s wrist has finally healed. Good to see Scott Gorgen’s name back in the FRB’s.
Good summer for Virgil Hill. Niko Vasquez too. Kevin Siegrist. Alex Castellanos. Brian Broderick. Jon Rodriguez. Lots of guys made progress.
Hill had 3 ?Hr in the 4 playoff games he appeared in. He had 2 all season prior to that.
Luhnow said on the radio today that Corpus’ FB has improved and now is consistently 94-95 MPH with an 88MPH splitter. I think he makes it all the way to SPFD next year.
Glad to see Cody Stanley get promoted to QC to end the season.
